Study Notes
Unit Testing
- In unit testing, a function or method is invoked with specific inputs and the output is captured.
- The output is then verified using assertions to ensure it meets the expected behavior.
- Flutter provides various assertion functions to assert the correctness of the code.
Unit Testing in Flutter
- Create a Calculator class with methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Write unit tests for each method in the Calculator class.
- Run the tests using the command line and check the output to ensure all tests pass.
Integration Testing
- Integration testing involves combining multiple units to ensure they work together seamlessly.
- There are two main approaches to integration testing: Big Bang and Incremental.
Big Bang Integration Testing
- Involves integrating all components or modules and testing as a single unit.
- Typically used when there is a tight deadline and all development teams are working in parallel.
- Can be used when the system is too complex or large to test in parts.
Incremental Integration Testing
- Involves integrating components incrementally, either from the bottom up or top down.
- Bottom-up approach: test low-level components first, then move to higher-level components.
- Top-down approach: test high-level components first, then move to lower-level components.
- Hybrid (Sandwich) approach: combines bottom-up and top-down approaches.
Bottom-up Approach
- Used when complexity is primarily found in lower-level modules.
- Used when defect localization is crucial and higher-level modules are still under development.
Top-down Approach
- Used when critical functionalities are primarily concentrated in higher-level components.
- Used when simulating real-world scenarios and user interactions is crucial.
Hybrid (Sandwich) Approach
- Combines the advantages of bottom-up and top-down approaches.
- Uses stubs and drivers to simulate the behavior of missing components.
- Consists of three steps: testing the user interface in isolation, testing low-level functions, and integrating the complete system.
Advantages of Sandwich Testing
- Can be used in very large projects with subprojects.
- Allows parallel testing.
- Is a time-saving approach.
- Performs more coverage with same stubs.
- Can be used to test both functional and non-functional aspects of a system.
Disadvantages of Sandwich Testing
- Cannot be used for systems with a lot of interdependence between modules.
- Requires a high need for stubs and drivers.
- Is expensive to set up and maintain the necessary infrastructure.
- May not be representative of the production environment, leading to inaccurate results.
- Is prone to human error when manually transferring data between environments.
